Chapter 858 Superhero

* * *

With a swoosh, Chen Xiao slashed down with his sword, and Jin Zaishi's head instantly parted from his body.

His enormous head rolled a good distance across the floor.

Seeing this, Guan Shilan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, before she could even catch her breath, Jin Zaishi's neck began to lengthen, reaching for his head.

Countless fine, dense sprouts grew from the severed points of his head and neck.

The sprouts were like tiny hands, tightly connecting together.

In the blink of an eye, Jin Zaishi's head was reattached to his neck.

Once he retracted his neck, he appeared to be back to normal.

No, not quite back to normal.

There was a slight mishap when Jin Zaishi reconnected his head and neck, and now the back of his head was facing forward, while his face was facing backward.

But this didn't stump Jin Zaishi. He first removed his head, turned it around, and then reattached it.

This time, he was finally back to normal.

"Heh heh heh, boy Chen, stop wasting your energy. Just obediently let me devour you! I am immortal. No matter what you do, you can't kill me!"

Guan Shilan was utterly despondent. She never expected Jin Zaishi to be able to reattach his head after it was cut off.

As Jin Zaishi said, he was already immortal.

Even if Chen Xiao was powerful, it was useless if he couldn't kill him.

"Is that all it takes to be immortal? People from your Goryeo country sure know how to brag!"

Chen Xiao sneered and swung his sword again, and Jin Zaishi's head fell off once more…

But this time, Guan Shilan didn't feel any of the previous excitement because she knew Jin Zaishi's head would soon be reattached.

"Heh heh heh, I told you it's useless, why are you still wasting your energy… Ah—"

Just as Jin Zaishi's neck had extended halfway, a flash of red light appeared in Chen Xiao's eyes, and a wave of Qilin Fire erupted, incinerating Jin Zaishi's head into ashes…

Without his head, Jin Zaishi's body spun around a few times before collapsing onto the floor with a thud.

This time, he didn't get up again.

Chen Xiao gave him a few extra minutes, and only after confirming that he was completely lifeless did he say to Guan Shilan, "Alright, you're safe now."

Guan Shilan looked at Chen Xiao in disbelief and asked in a daze, "Brother-in-law, what kind of -man are you?"

"What kind of -man?"

Chen Xiao was bewildered and asked in confusion.

"Like those superheroes, aren't they all something-man? Don't you have a nickname like that?"

Guan Shilan asked with a serious face.

"…"

Chen Xiao was speechless.

He couldn't be bothered to answer such a moronic question. After all, Guan Shilan was just an ordinary person, and seeing a monster like Jin Zaishi made her feel like the sky was falling.

But in Chen Xiao's eyes, an opponent of Jin Zaishi's level was just a minor nuisance. The only reason he hadn't killed him immediately was to see what he was capable of.

After seeing it, Chen Xiao was even more disdainful.

This Jin Zaishi didn't have any spiritual energy to support him. All his abilities relied on his strong physical body, so he could only be considered a low-level fighter.

"How did he become like this? Did he use some secret technique or incantation?"

Chen Xiao asked Guan Shilan.

Guan Shilan shook her head, "No, he just took a pill and suddenly turned into this… Oh, right, I have a recording. Do you want to see it?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Send it to me."

Guan Shilan had secretly installed cameras in various rooms of the villa, and the recordings were transmitted to her phone in real time.

As a business spy, this was just basic professional competence.

Soon, Guan Shilan sent the recording to Chen Xiao.

After watching it, Chen Xiao realized that the two island country trash had died at the hands of Jin Zaishi, or rather… in his mouth.

"There's nothing else here. You can leave first. I'll stay here a little longer."

Chen Xiao said to Guan Shilan.

"Brother-in-law, can I leave with you? I'm scared!"

Guan Shilan said pitifully.

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "You're afraid of walking alone? Aren't you afraid of your sister?"

Hearing this, Guan Shilan couldn't help but shudder.

"Goodbye, brother-in-law!"

With that, she quickly walked out.

Because she had almost subconsciously used her usual flirtatious tactics on Chen Xiao.

Clearly, Chen Xiao didn't fall for it and even exposed her.

After Guan Shilan left, Chen Xiao called Liu Yu.

Liu Yu was from the Vermilion Bird Division and mainly responsible for intelligence work. Maybe she could analyze some information from the recording that Chen Xiao couldn't see.

"I already knew that Gaisheng Group was developing gene drugs, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful! That sailor-suited girl is Kuriyama Chizuru from the island country, an A-level esper, but Jin Zaishi killed her as if it were effortless…"

After watching the recording, Liu Yu was stunned and the more she thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Although Chen Xiao had easily killed Jin Zaishi, there was only one Chen Xiao.

And if anyone could become as powerful as Jin Zaishi after taking that green pill, that would be too frightening.

Chen Xiao understood what she meant and said, "I don't think everyone can withstand this kind of drug. Gene breakthroughs themselves cause great damage to the body. The chances of mutating into someone like Jin Zaishi are probably less than one in ten thousand."

Liu Yu nodded in agreement, "But even so, we can't be careless. If the Night Group really creates dozens of these monsters, they'll be too powerful."

Again, there was only one Chen Xiao.

It would be impossible to find a third person as powerful as Chen Xiao in the entire Huaxia.

Liu Yu felt that Chen Xiao's strength had probably surpassed even Xiao Junshen's.

"Mr. Chen, can I take Jin Zaishi's body away for research? Maybe we can extract some of the gene drug that hasn't been completely absorbed."

Liu Yu asked tentatively.

Chen Xiao nodded, "Sure, I'll leave this place to you then. I'm leaving first."

"Okay, Mr. Chen, take care."

Liu Yu saw Chen Xiao out the door before contacting her subordinates to come and move the body.

Chen Xiao's next destination was a clubhouse. Song Anran and Li Ziqing were still waiting for him there.

Li Ziqing had received Guan Shilan's SOS text message when the three of them had just sat down and were about to discuss investing in Anchen Technology.

After receiving the text message, Chen Xiao had immediately rushed over. Now that the matter was settled, he naturally had to return.

He wondered if the two women had had any friction during the time he was away.

After all, in Chen Xiao's impression, the relationship between these two women wasn't exactly friendly.

Most importantly, neither of them were pushovers!

However, when Chen Xiao returned, the scene before him stunned him and even made him wonder if he was seeing things.

Because the two women were sitting together in harmony, chatting happily, looking like good friends who had known each other for many years!
